2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan

Chrysler announced that its all-new midsize sedan will be called the 200. Most notable from these snapshots are the narrower front and rear lights and the restyled Chrysler emblem. The 200 will come with a choice of two powertrains: the 2.4-liter four-cylinder carried over from the previous generation with either a four-speed or six-speed automatic, and higher-end versions will get the company’s new 3.6-liter V-6 with 283 horsepower and 260 pounds-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic. That’s more power than what V-6 versions of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or Ford Fusion produce.
